Celia |
| When the wind from the island is rollin' through the trees |
| When a kiss from a prison cell is carried in the breeze |
| That’s when I wonder how sad a man can be |
| Oh, when will Celia come to me? |
| I still remember the mountains of the war |
| Sierra Madre and the Philipino shore |
| When will I lie beside my Celia 'neath the trees? |
| Oh, when will Celia come to me? |
| So many years were stolen, so many years are gone |
| And the vision of my Celia make dreams to dream upon |
| Each hour is a day filled with memories |
| Oh, when will Celia come to me? |
| I wake each morning and I watch the sun arise |
| Wonder if my Celia sleeps, wonder if she cries |
| If hate must be my prison lock, love must be the key |
| Oh, when will Celia come to me? |
| The guns have stopped their firing, you may wander through the hills |
| They kept my Celia through the war, they keep her from me still |
| She waits upon island now, a prisoner of the sea |
| Oh, when will Celia come to me? |
| When the wind from the island is rolling through the trees |
| When a kiss from a prison cell is carried in the breeze |
| That’s when I wonder how sad a man can be |
| Oh, when will Celia come to me? |
| Oh, when will Celia come to me? |
